So it’s Wilson feeling best at the mid-session interval after stopping Jones’s run with those last two frames. Jak Jones has done well to get a slight foothold in the match but he really needs to win three of these final four frames tonight to give himself a realistic chance tomorrow.

Wilson clears the table with a really well-taken 68 break to steal a frame he never should have had a look at, and that will hurt Jak Jones.

Jones makes a costly mistake! He tries to cannon a red out of the way en route to getting position on the pink, but makes a mess of it with too thick a contact, and the break is over. Wilson comes back to the table chasing a 40-point deficit but with plenty of points left on the table.

Wow – a stunning long pot! From up against the baulk cushion, Jak Jones has no option but to take on a horribly hard long red, just off straight. It’s probably a 10% chance but Jones sends the red into the heart of the corner pocket and rolls up to leave the cue ball perfectly on the black. That was the best pot of the final so far, and the crowd howl their approval.

He’s got a good chance now.

Wilson wins the safety battle and he’s in among the balls, but a horribly heavy contact with a red leaves him out of position and chasing the next few balls. His luck runs out when he misses a mid-length red, though he makes sure to send the cue ball back to baulk and out of trouble.

Wilson leads this frame 18-13 as Jones steps up to the table with nothing on.

Jones has started this 12th frame positively, potting a stunning red into the left middle pocket from baulk with power and confidence. However, the break is brief and now he’s got himself in a bit of a pickle trying to escape a snooker set up cleverly by Kyren Wilson.

Here’s that brilliant century from Kyren Wilson – including that remarkable last red:

The last red is dispatched delightfully, Kyren Wilson generating remarkable power and action on the cue ball to screw back for the blue. In go the colours – Wilson puts a pause on the fightback with a delicious 125 to take his first frame of the evening.

A beaut of a red keeps Wilson trucking through the seventies having ended up the wrong side of the blue. A third century of the match may well beckon.

A cheery chomp of the jaws but a mid-range red falls for the Englishman, doing a bit of dental work on the way through. The following black takes a couple of teeth with it, too – it’s streaky, and Kyren Wilson will still need to split the bunch, but he’s building his lead.
